Quick report

AAS Rec L1 three groups in different zones, Lipps, Sunburst and Cornbiscuit. Snowpack generally stable, no major changes. Some new glide cracks visible, one on Lipps west face, and possibly one on the south end of Seattle ridge. Skies were mostly clear, some clouds visible toward the south end of the pass and wind picking up. Upper winds appeared out of the east, winds on the surface at Lipps out of the north. Flagging observed on Sunburst ridge, winds were moderate-strong in Taylor Creek valley. Found a fresh wind slab on a west aspect of Taylor Creek drainage where we had easy hand shears and localized cracking.
